About The Match
Bilbao's home edge is real but narrow, and Alaves arrive with the better recent league form. The market prices Bilbao at 58% to win, while Alaves have taken 10 points from their last six league games against Bilbao's 7. The key uncertainty is whether Alaves can translate their strong home scoring into an away performance, where they have scored just 1.0 goal per match this season.
